Pop-up advert that won’t go away.

I keep getting Siemens advert pop up randomly, and despite having an x in the corner it doesn’t often work.

I always thought pop ups weren’t quite in the spirit of the site 😏

Can you recommend an ad blocker? The ones I’ve found need monthly payments.

Show quote history

Adblockers are so worth it
they we’re driving me absolutely INSANE I do pay but for me it’s worth it for a quiet browsing experience.
i was previously putting cards on the screen to hide ads.
Google for reviews if blockers.

Small ads that are still aren’t too bad
jiggly moving ones are odious.

Yep it keeps occuring on my feed as well.....grrrr

themonkeysnuts · 11/09/2024 17:09

on my Iphone im getting the Siemens ad also the Diabetes one popping up frequently, so imposiible to look at threads so have resorted to using my desktop
(not just for MN)

Another day, another Siemens advert. @mnhq any updates ?

FatherConfesserTheGuesser · 10/09/2024 07:34

This is what I see, takes over whole pages.

This doesn't happen on any other website.

Android on Chrome

That's the one I get. Haven't had it for a couple of days but I have had a busy week so not been on Mumsnet much

Procrastinates · 11/09/2024 09:43

Any update on this it's still happening frequently and it's been an issue now for several weeks.

@HebeMumsnet four times in as many minutes

BESTAUNTB · 09/09/2024 12:07

Hi - completely understand the need for ads but this Siemens one is really intrusive.

Procrastinates · 09/09/2024 11:42

I tried again to remove ad blocker in the hope that this would have been resolved but it's appeared at least 5 times again this morning.

I'm not the most tech savvy person but I really don't understand why it's taking so long to sort?

Still getting it here. No warning. I’ll video it next time.

BlueyTuesdays · 08/09/2024 15:08

Also still getting the Siemens pop up ad - lady in hard hat and orange hi-vis. Fills the screen with 30 second countdown.

I can’t predict when it might. It just suddenly appears.

I was on a train the other day and went past a Siemens depot, I swear my blood pressure shot up 🤣
